O.K I want a new MP3 for running,cycling etc. not made by apple.
I currently have/use a 1gb Sony Walkman (nw-s203f) that I wear on my arm.
However i would like something bigger and easier to put songs on/off for under £50
Do any of you have any ideas :?:

    Creative Zen's used to be a fantastic alternative to the iPod. Check them out, though not sure how much they are these days.
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    Why not made by Apple out of interest?

    My Zen style 100 was about that IIRC (8gb) can get smaller sizes cheaper. Its been good so far!

    Because I've had bad dealings with their customer service regarding built in battery's and 1yr guarantee.Ended up going seeing citizens advice to get it sorted :roll:

    i've just got an 8gb sandisk sansa clip + from play for less than 40 quid at christmas for training an whatever, it's really bloody good. So good infact i haven't used my big ipod since, the sound quality of the sandisk is that much better. It's tiny too and has a built in clip.

    Love it don't think you can beat if for a little beater.

    well the shop has to provide a 2 year warranty so what is the problem?

    for £50, apple doesn't have a competent offering.

    try sansa clip+, gets great reviews, expandable.
    earphones are equally important too.

    +1 for Scandisk. I have an 8gb Sansa Fuse and have been very happy with it.

    +1 for the Sansa Clip+

    I have an 8gb player with another 8gb memory card. It is a doddle to use with drag and drop files. The battery life is about 15 hours. Sound quality is great and it plays most music formats like mp3, Ogg Vorbis, wma. It also has a radio built in.

    Because of iTunes?
